Bullets Fly and Blood Spills: “The Killer” Delivers the Action Goods
Korean action thriller “The Killer: A Girl Who Deserves To Die” is a rollercoaster ride of non-stop action and intense fight sequences that will leave you at the edge of your seat. Director Choi Jae-hoon has done an exceptional job in bringing Bang Jin Ho’s novel “The Kid Deserves to Die” to life on the […]
'6 Underground' – Netflix Movie Review – Loud, Insane & Hysterical
Michael Bay’s action thriller ‘6 Underground’ starring Ryan Reynolds is probably the film you would never like to watch in theatre, as this has more negatives than positives. The makers have realized the fact and made this available on Netflix eager to offer this to a wider audience. ‘6 Underground’ follows an unnamed American tech […]
Polar (2019) – Netflix’s hyper-violent action adventure
Mads Mikkelsen starrer new Netflix original action flick ‘Polar’ has everything from sex, guns, brutality to just enough drama you need in a blood-splattered action film. Netflix already has its 2019 opening shot with ‘Close’, but with ‘Polar’ it now has a gorier action film after last year’s super successful ultra-bloodshed action fest ‘The Night […]
DARC (2018) – Review – An Ultra-violent Gangster Drama
I was looking for some Liam Neeson kind of slick action thriller and got this ultra-violent crime thriller DARC, now streaming on Netflix. Director Julius R. Nasso brings this action-packed, blood-soaked revenge crime thriller that goes with the likes of the Taken film series or Keanu Reeves starrer John Wick series. DARC is actually dark […]
Movie Review: AKIRA (Bollywood Action Thriller)
I watched AKIRA in the theatre some two weeks back and since then I’ve been trying to find some time to write about this. Directed by the south master AR Murugadoss, who had also previously directed content-driven movies like Ghajini (2008) and Holiday, ‘Akira’ is yet another addition to his unique touch in the craft […]
Wild Card (2015) – Yet another mediocre action flick
Based on William Goldman’s 1985 novel Heat that was then filmed with Burt Reynolds in the lead (1986 film Heat), the new version Wild Card is a big disappointment considering it is an action thriller. Action star Jason Statham reprises the role played by Reynolds but ends up over-playing with less action but more dialogues […]
SALT (2010) – An old-school action thriller
Australian movie director Phillip Noyce is well-known for films like Patriot Games and A Clear And Present Danger, but with Salt, he brings back the old-school thriller with exceptional action sequences and a story that many might believe is overcooked, yet delicious in its own way. Starring Angelina Jolie as CIA agent Evelyn Salt, the […]
Drive Angry (2011) – Another Usual Nicholas Cage Flick
Directed by Patrick Lussier, Drive Angry is a stylish action movie similar to Ghost Rider that doesn’t spend much of your time before taking you on an action-packed trip filled with guns, gore, and unrelenting violence. Drive Angry talks about Milton (Nicholas Cage), a dead man who breaks out of Hell to prevent the Earth from […]
Lockout (2012) – A Laughable Video-Game Kind Sci-Fi Flick
Directed by James Mather and Stephen St. Leger, Lockout is nothing more than a video game-esque sci-fi flick with no worth whatsoever. In this film, if there is one thing that I want to reveal straightway is the laughable yet entertaining performance by Guy Pierce, who unsuccessfully tried to save the film from slick dialogues […]
